I hear you, Phil. I don't disclose my mental illness to anyone really (outside of babble) except a very few (2) friends and my family. The stigma is so strong.
I certainly don't post on facebook when I'm in a rut. I use it for fun and just wouldn't. I do think, though, that people tend to post their "best" things on sites like facebook (be it biz accolades, kid's accomplishments, engagements, etc.) and I know it's the last place I go when I feel lousy. No thanks. I don't want to be depressed and envious.
As far as hobbies, well, thank g-d for the internet. I can't concentrate on too much these days.
Hope you're feeling sunny =).
